Unit 3380

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 2.8 m E-W x 1.2 m N-S 

Discussion: It is quite a thick layer which is same as (3107) and (3129). At that half of the room fill we gave one number to (3107) and (3129) both. We are digging them together without separating.

Half sectioned to the N and to the S this unit was arbitrarily half sectioned but (3380) represents the two units combined (SF). 

Recognition: Structural debris type material, patches of white, brown, ornage and dark-grey. 

Definition: Boundaries fairly clear, up to walls in W,E and S (defined by walls) and up to section in N. 

Execution: 1/2 sectioned by trowel and mattock (handpick). 

Condition: Moderately moist and moderately hard. 

Consistency: soft/friable mixed with firm 

Colour: 10 YR 3/4 dark yellowish brown (dominant), 10 YR 6/6 brownish yellow (coprolite?), 10 YR 8/1 white (plaster), 10 YR 3/1 very dark grey (mudbrick) 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: flecks of charcoal (10%), occasional small coprolite, building material c. 50% 

Post-depositional Features: occasional salt 

Basal Boundary: n/a

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
